史上最小 QR Code 面積僅 1.977 平方微米 須借電子顯微鏡才能掃描 - unwire.hk 香港

奧地利維也納科技大學(TU Wien)與資料儲存技術公司 Cerabyte 合作,成功製作出全球面積最小 QR Code。這款 QR Code 面積僅 1.977 平方微米,比細菌細胞還要細小,肉眼及光學顯微鏡均無法看見,必須借助電子顯微鏡才能掃描讀取。目前該項紀錄已獲健力士氏世界紀錄正式認定。

#GuinnessWorldRecord broken! 🏆 #TUWien & #Cerabyte create the world's smallest #QRCode pixels at just 49nm – smaller than bacteria! Etched into a thin #ceramic layer, readable only with an electron microscope 🔬

📐 Total size: just 1.98 square micrometers – beating the previous record by 63%
🔬 Pixel size: 49 nanometers – smaller than an average bacterium, invisible to optical microscopes

🧵 👇

💾 Storage density: a single-layer A4-sized film can hold over 2 terabytes of data using this technology
🏺 Material: etched into a thin #ceramic layer – claimed to last indefinitely with no energy or cooling required

🤝 Behind the record: collaboration between TU Wien (Institute of Materials Science) and #Cerabyte – a #startup for ceramic #datastorage
💡 Sweet spot: not the smallest possible code, but the optimal balance of miniaturization, stability & readability

One of my projects (that I actually get paid for in my day job) is a collaboration with #Austrian #startup #Cerabyte who are developing a new #archival #storage #technology using femtosecond lasers to write data onto ceramic glass film.

They just got into the #Guinness Book of #WorldRecords for creating the world's smallest #QRcode (1.98 square micrometres).

Weltrekord: Der kleinste QR-Code der Welt

Ins Guinness-Buch der Rekorde schafft es die TU Wien gemeinsam mit ihrem Partnerunternehmen Cerabyte – mit den kleinsten QR-Codes, die jemals produziert und gelesen werden konnten.

AWS are all out of branded socks, but a colleague did show me this long-term ceramic data-storage medium
